Creating Access and Inclusion in Worship

INTRODUCTION TO WORSHIP SERVICE

Inclusion Awareness Day reminds us to open our hearts to others and to recognize the gifts of every person. When we affirm one another's gifts and talents we enrich our faith community. We can reach out to make worshipers of all abilities feel welcome to participate in worship, ministry and fellowship. Today we reflect on the contributions fellow members who happen to have disabilities make to our faith community. We also celebrate the progress we have made toward making full participation in our church possible, as we renew our commitment to becoming a fully accessible faith community.
